Final Week - Move More Workouts

DAY 27 (MONDAY)

ENJOY THE HOLIDAY!

Get outside and do something you love today. Let’s celebrate those who have sacrificed their lives for our country. Spread positivity and gratitude on this special day, and I will see you back here tomorrow for a total core domination!

If you are looking for some ideas to stay active, I recommend at least 30 minutes of any of the following:

  • Walking with a friend

  • Going for a bike ride

  • Yoga

  • Try out a new fitness class

  • Go for a jog in your favorite park or neighborhood

  • Try out a new, scenic hike

  • Try something totally new and out of your comfort zone like rock climbing, kayaking or paddle boarding

    *Whatever you decide, have some fun!

DAY 29 (Wednesday)

YOGA + LISS (LOW INTENSITY STEADY STATE)

Today is another active recovery day. I encourage you do some light stretching, yoga, and/or foam rolling. I have included a few links to my favorite yoga YouTube channels below. Remember, recovery time is as important as the workouts, because it allows the body time to recover and repair the muscles. Embrace the rest days! They aren’t holding you back, they are actually increasing the likelihood of sticking to these 30 days. #consistencynotperfection!

DAY 30 (THURSDAY)

Full Body Strength - YOU DID IT!!!

Let’s get to it! Today you will need:

1. A pair of Dumbbells or anything with a little bit of weight
(olive oil bottles, wine bottles, get creative)
2. Mat
3. Water

Full Body Strength Circuit

*Perform each exercise for 60 seconds. Complete 2-3 round for a total body workout!

  • Touchdown Squats

  • Tricep Push-up

  • Dumbbell Lateral Lunge

  • Commandos

  • Knee Tuck Jump or Bodyweight Speed Squats

  • Dumbbell Reverse Shoulder Press

  • Dumbbell Reverse-grip Bent Over Row

  • Goblet Sumo Squat

  • High Knees

*Please listen to your body in each workout, and modify by regressing the exercise when necessary. It is crucial that you use proper form for every exercise. Do not try to muscle through any of them, especially if you are just beginning. If you maintain proper form for each exercise, you will see improvements and strength gains much more quickly than if you were to attempt to perform a more advanced exercise with improper form!
